Nintendo’s Super Mario bros are over 35 years old now. And their series of games are counted as one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. With a huge number of mainline 2D and 3D titles and an even larger number of spin-offs and crossovers; Mario has been very busy making a name for itself and its creator, Shigeru Miyamoto.

As one of Nintendo’s prime Ips, Super Mario bros get special treatment in a number of ways. They have their own Lego sets; further, they always get a big mainline entry with every new console.

This is the second big-screen outing for Super Mario Bros

Super Mario Bros also became the first to get a feature film adaptation. It was released in 1993; however, it was not what fans were expecting. The movie changed the vibrantly colorful world of Super Mario Bros. into a grim dystopia. And fans were disappointed. After that Nintendo took a break from trying to make movies on their characters. However, this changed recently when Nintendo announced an animated movie starring everyone’s favorite jumpy plumber and his brother.

The studio working with Nintendo released the trailer of the film a month back. And it was met with a positive reception from most fans of the series. Some fans described it as being very honest with the original world of Mario. This sparked a lot of excitement among people and they started waiting for their full look at the movie.
